Live migration LXC

[ca_maer]

I'm reopening this post since it was 2 years ago and criu has been worked on since then. Any updates on live migration for lxc ?

We (still) do not plan to implement that. Please use VMs if you want live migration.

Thanks for the follow up dietmar.

there is no working live migration for LXC, and therefore this feature is also not implemented in PVE. we regularly test with newer CRIU versions, but the current state is still far from usable (e.g., open network connections prevent container migration).

Have any progress about this?
LXD have live migration, but Proxmox still no.
When it's tentatively planned to add LXC live migrations?

I was read this and I'm upset...

still not in the plans, the situation with CRIU hasn't changed that much.

Being able to live-migrate containers would make it an easier sell to some of our customers–what work would need to be done to make it happen?
